1/32 502 Guillows Focke-Wulf FW-190 - 16 Inch Wingspan Flying Aircraft

Wood Model Kit,   Box Condition: Exc

From the 1960s and one of a very popular 16.5 inch wingspan series of World War 2 stick-and-tissue flying models from Guillows. This Fw-190 features die cut balsa parts, factory-cut stringers and spars, vacuform nose, spinner & several other detail parts, fully formed wheels, plastic propeller, hardware, vacuform canopy (still in mint condition and not yellowed), covering tissue, a large decal sheet and more. Includes full size plans with detailed building instructions. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. Guillow's founder, Paul K. Guillow, was a WWI naval aviator. In 1926 he began producing wooden model airplane kits. His 'Shelf Models' were some of the earlier non-flying models in production. Guillow's grew during the model boom of the 1930s, and when the Depression hit the hardest, Guillow's responded with lower prices and became one of the low price leaders, frequently advertising in Model Airplane News and other leading publications. During the war, like most manufacturers, Guillow's was forced to alternative materials such as cardboard and pine. Guillow's survived the post WWII slump by creating many inexpensive profile flying rubber powered aircraft and gliders in the 1950s (along with North Pacific) which became famous - some are still available today. The stick and tissue lines have been updated with laser cut parts and are still in production as of 2009.
